Subject: [PATCH v14 0/4] vfio: selftest: Add NVIDIA GPU Falcon DMA test driver
Date: Tue,  9 Jun 2026 16:28:51 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260609232855.3808971-1-rubind@nvidia.com> (raw)

Patch 1:

Add a chunking loop to vfio_pci_driver_memcpy() so that it handles
arbitrarily sized memcpy requests by breaking them into
max_memcpy_size-sized chunks. This allows tests to request any memcpy
size. Update the test to use a size of 4x max_memcpy_size to exercise
the chunking logic.

Patch 2:

Add vfio_pci_cmd_set()/vfio_pci_cmd_clear() macros for PCI_COMMAND
operations.

Patch 3:

Allow drivers that cannot trigger MSI interrupts to leave the
send_msi callback NULL. Tests check ops->send_msi directly and
gracefully skip MSI-related operations when it is absent.

Patch 4:

Introduce the nv_falcon plugin driver, which extracts and adapts
relevant functionality from NVIDIA's gpu-admin-tools project [1] and
integrates it into the VFIO selftest framework. As a result, any
system equipped with a PCIe slot and a supported NVIDIA GPU can now
run VFIO DMA selftests using commonly available hardware.

Falcons are general-purpose microcontrollers present on NVIDIA GPUs
that can perform DMA operations between system memory and device
memory.

Changes for v14:
 - Re-tested with vfio_pci_driver_test on K2200, M60, P100, P4000, V100,
   T4, RTX 3090, RTX 4000 Ada and H100.
 - Alex prepared this respin addressing David's review of v13.
 - Patch 1 & 3: No change.
 - Patch 2: R-b collected.
 - Patch 4: address David's review -
   - Include <linux/types.h>
   - Factor out get_elapsed_ms()
   - Rename NV_*_BOOT_COMPLETE_MASK to _SUCCESS
   - Drop the redundant falcon_enable() and move the no_outside_reset
     check to the top of falcon_enable() so falcon_reset() is
     unconditional
   - Fold dev_err() and size_to_dma_encoding() into nv_falcon_dma()
   - Drop gpu->memcpy_count and the redundant GPU_ARCH_UNKNOWN assert
   - Alignment fixes

Note on version numbering: v1 through v9 were internal review iterations
that were mistakenly carried over to the upstream submission. Apologies
for the confusion, the internal changelog has been dropped.
